Tommy Smith, known as "The Nightmare", is a musician and disc jockey who hosts the San Fierro based classic rock radio station K-DST.
Smith is the former frontman of 1970s progressive rock act Crystal Ship, and it is fairly obvious from listening to his radio broadcasts that he thought pretty highly of the group, especially his contributions to it. It is not known when the group dissolved or if they were still active by 1992, the year Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is set.
Tommy and Sage, the host of alternative rock station Radio X, appear to hold grudges against each other, presumably for dislike of the other's musical preferences.
Tommy is voiced by Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose.
The character's history could be a jab at Rose himself. Like Rose, Smith's music career has dried up (Crystal Ship is without him, Guns N' Roses is dead). Also, his former bandmates are much more successful (Rose's former bandmates have moved on with Velvet Revolver and have reached further success than Rose). And like Rose, Smith is reduced to a much less glamorous job, being a DJ (and Rose is reduced to voicing a DJ in a videogame) Whether or not these are intentional or a coincidence is unknown, but its likely Rose hasn't made the connection, as he is notorious for requiring everything to suit him and would most likely quit if he felt he was being mocked.
